What to do and see in El Centro (Downtown), Capital Federal District: The Best Flea & Street Markets
The birthplace of the tango is, like the dance itself, captivating, seductive and bustling with excited energy. Atmospheric old neighborhoods are rife with romantic restaurants and thumping nightlife, and Buenos Aires' European heritage is evident in its architecture, boulevards and parks. Cafe Tortoni, the city's oldest bar, will transport you back to 1858, and the spectacular Teatro Colon impresses just as it did in 1908. Latin America's shopping capital offers the promise of premium retail therapy along its grand, wide boulevards.

Without doubt, the most amazing market I've ever seen. I always try and visit the local markets in places I visit, but this one just kept going and going. Put your walking shoes on and start at one end (it starts at Plaza de Mayo on Defensar and is on every Sunday). There are many side streets and little arcade markets as well. Lots of street performers of all types, wandering minstrel coffee sellers (very cool) and a lot of artisans making their products. Lots of silver and jewellery, leather goods, antiques galore (including the indoor market arcades along the way), unusual (and not so unusual) collectibles, stuff for the kids, plus plenty of options for food and drink. A fantastic way to spend a Sunday. Bought a few things as gifts and thoroughly enjoyed my day.

Not to be confused with the famous San Telmo Sunday Fair (Feira de San Telmo), the indoor Mercado San Telmo first opened in 1897 and it is now open every day of the week in a permanent location at the corner of Defensa and Carlos Calvo. The Mercado San Telmo’s building is a National Historic Monument. Although it is a separate entity from the Sunday market, going to San Telmo on Sunday will allow you to duck into the Mercado San Telmo as you walk the mile of the Sunday market’s outdoor stalls from the Plaza de Mayo to the Plaza Dorrego. Whether you are there to browse, buy or eat, it is worthy of your time to just walk through it.
